Abstract

The invention provides an ingestion body posture adjusting wheelchair used for dysphagia patients. The ingestion body posture adjusting wheelchair comprises a wheelchair frame, a backrest mechanism, a seat mechanism and a foot support mechanism, wherein the backrest mechanism comprises a backrest frame, safety protection boards on the left and right sides, a headrest and a backrest inclined air cylinder; the seat mechanism comprises a seat cushion frame and a seat cushion rotation air cylinder; the foot support mechanism comprises a foot support frame, a pedal, left and right leg baffles and a foot support lifting air cylinder; the seat cushion frame is rotatably connected with the backrest frame, the foot support frame is rotatably connected with the seat cushion frame, and the seat cushion frame is rotatably connected with the wheelchair frame. With the ingestion body posture adjusting wheelchair, patients can be subjected to multi-part (back lateral pitching composite posture and leg inclining posture) and multi-angle body posture adjustment on the wheelchair, so that the ingestion body posture adjustment requirements of the different dysphagia patients can be satisfied.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a rehabilitation training device, in particular to a feeding position adjustment wheelchair for patients with swallowing disorders. Background technique [0002] Dysphagia is the inability to safely and effectively transport food from the mouth to the stomach to obtain adequate nutrition and water due to impairment of the jaw, lips, tongue, soft palate, throat, esophageal sphincter, or esophagus. Common causes include stroke, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson's disease, damage to the swallowing channel and its nearby organs, and tumors. Swallowing disorders can easily lead to aspiration, and even lead to serious consequences such as aspiration pneumonia, suffocation, and malnutrition. Studies have found that about 34% of stroke deaths are caused by aspiration pneumonia, and dysphagia is the first cause of aspiration pneumonia. Traditional nasal feeding and gastrostomy solve the nutritional intake barriers of patients, but bri...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Existing swallowing rehabilitation therapy instruments will produce acupuncture-like pain when treating patients, and long-term use will also have adverse effects on the human body, causing patients to have resistance, which is not conducive to the purpose of treatment

In addition, according to the type and degree of dysphagia, the lack of personalized treatment plan is also the main reason for poor curative effect, decreased patient compliance and increased medical expenses.

[0005] For the position adjustment in feeding training, there is no similar auxiliary device in China. Most of the patient's position adjustment is carried out on the angle-adjustable bed by the patient and the therapist. Generally speaking, there are still the following defects: 1. It is difficult to maintain hygiene when eating in bed, using towels and cushions, low reproducibility, and difficult to quantify body position adjustment; 2. It is difficult to evaluate the position adjustment; 3. Unstable posture, patients are also fatigued and their appetite decreases
